Preparing the next generation of aviation professionals requires stronger alignment between education, training, and
the real needs of the industry. This session will explore how academia, industry, and civil aviation authorities can collaborate to ensure training programmes are relevant, future-ready, and responsive across the entire aviation ecosystem. Speakers will share strategies to improve the quality and relevance of training through updated curricula, cross-sector partnerships, and closer engagement with both employers and regulators. The ultimate goal is to equip trainees with the right skills at the right time, enabling them to enter the workforce with confidence and contribute meaningfully to the system as a whole.
